im going to tell you the most interesting thing that I discovered whilst pregnant, when your tummy is huge, and you happen to have an orgasm, your tummy gets a braxton hick contraction and goes hard like a rock! Like scary rock hard! Lol! Its a proven fact actually, orgasm releases oxytocin, the same hormone that controls contractions. So, that was my very embarrassing fact, so that I could maybe have a chance to win that awesome hamper for my special friend Raen, who is such a special lady and really deserves to be pampered! She is almost five months pregnant with her first baby!

I recently learnt about “the Breast Crawl” in a group meeting I attended called The Positive Birthing Movement. Here is what I learnt and it BLEW MY MIND!!!
Every newborn, when placed on her mother’s abdomen, soon after birth, has the ability to find her mother’s breast all on her own and to decide when to take the first breastfeed. This is called the ‘Breast Crawl’. #babygoals.

Interesting fact about pregnancy: Only about 5% of babies are born on their due date
You will spend your entire pregnancy counting the days until you get to see your baby’s sweet, little face. However, like many women, especially first time mothers-to-be, you may continue to wait well past your due date. While pregnancy is generally considered to last for 40 weeks, most first time pregnancies average just over 41 weeks, some longer. Doctors may decide to induce a labour that has not started spontaneously, generally between 7-14 days after the due date, unless a medical reason exists.

Being pregnant for this first time brings in a lot of mixed emotions, confusion and overall joy. The most interesting fact is knowing that my little baby embedded inside of me cries in the womb. I have just recently learned this fact and it is so amazing to share that with moms who have already had their 2nd or 3rd child. Even they are amazed at knowing this fact. It is really interesting knowing that inside the womb a beautiful creation is already filled with emotion. Praying hard on winning, baba and I would be truly blessed with a bit of pampering from Bio-oil
